Fashion Fever with Peplum

Hello beautiful! This new year brings with it new territories for me! I'm entering into the land of fashion and I have got fashion fever baby. Why fashion? I always had a love for fashion. I've been known to my friends as the girl who loves shoes. It started with this love for shoes, then moved to handbags, then accessories and now onto the actual wear. For too long I have stayed into my comfort zone and now it's time to change that. Introducing one of the latest fashion styles, the peplum.

So what is the peplum? From my pictures you can see it is like an overskirt. It attaches onto the main part of the dress. It draws the eyes into the waist and hips and creates an hourglass shape for my petite frame. In this look the piece is simple but can be dressed up or down to be used from day to night. Throw a jacket onto it, add some black stockings, pair with some simple jewelry and you can even venture into the office. This piece is versatile since it is black but the cream midsection breaks the monotony of the colour and looks like a belt adding to the accentuation of the waist. I am particularly fond also of the asymmetrical frill which brings some more flare to the look.

I paired the look with silver accessories; drop earrings that would peak out from beneath my hair, a long chain to bring some life to the simple vest like top of the dress and a simple handclasp.

I kept my nails simply natural to not distract from the beauty of the dress but feel free to add a pop of colour to liven up the look.

The classic smoky black and brown eyes with the rest of the face being neutral is the perfect pair for this simple black peplum. It complements the dress without overtaking the focus. The look completed with pulled straight hair with a bit of volume to the top adds a bit of rocker chic flare to the overall look. Be brave and go out and rock your full look with peplum!

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.

He thought he could hide from me forever, but boy was he mistaken! The mighty NYX cosmetics booth that was hiding in Long Circular Mall, Trinidad got trapped by a skillful makeup addict! Me!!!! How could he have avoided me for almost 2 years? Being a northeast girl means venturing into POS and environs is only when I really have to. I hadn’t visited this Mall in about 2 years which was the timeframe given to me as to how long this booth has been in the mall. Now give me some great customer service will you! Yes please and yes that is what I got here! In addition, you don’t have to wait 6 months before recently launched items from NYX cosmetics are available. These people have it down when it comes to ensuring all the new and existing items are there for you! Everything I asked for was available to me to buy! And Yes I got some goodies! How could I not? I have been in a blush craze lately so why not try my first blush from NYX, Desert Rose. The new xtreme lip creams were available so I…
